The sun is shining and it's time to get splashing with pools for kids and adults.
Is there any sound more quintessentially summery than hearing children splash, laugh and shout in their back garden for hours on end? On those glorious days, the paddling pool emerges and before they've even had time to have breakfast they're ready to hop out into the water – under adult supervision, of course.
